Are we fact-checking medical claims the right way? 🩺🤔
Probably not. In our study, even experts struggled to verify Reddit health claims using end-to-end systems.
We show why—and argue fact-checking should be a dialogue, with patients in the loop

Do chatbots hinder #criticalThinking?
Contrary to fallacious causal conclusions drawn from correlational studies, this experiment found a scripted chatbot increased correct #factChecking solutions compared to unassisted students (N = 156).

Excited to pilot our human performance augmentation approach with #AR/VR in #brachytherapy. Placing critical info in the physician's field of view eliminates workflow disruptions + is more ergonomic. Grateful for the opportunity to build this solution @mdanderson.bsky.social!

Happy to share one of my side projects: TRAC - Trial Reasoning and Analysis Companion. A web app I developed for augmenting trial understanding and variable visualization with GPT-4o under the hood. #AITools

Great summary of our latest work realized by @hyesunyun.bsky.social👇🏼We find that LLMs are susceptible to spin in medical abstracts and can propagate into plain summaries. However prompting techniques such as CoT can help mitigate that. @jessyjli.bsky.social @byron.bsky.social
🚨 Do LLMs fall for spin in medical literature? 🤔
In our new preprint, we find that LLMs are susceptible to biased reporting of clinical treatment benefits in abstracts—more so than human experts. 📄🔍 [1/7]

A new completely open reasoning model out of China, Deepseek-R1, is now available. The benchmarks show it at parity with the likes of o1 and Sonnet
In some informal tests on non-code problems, it is really good, not o1-pro level but surprisingly capable (and incredibly small & fast!). Big advance.

We suck at predicting the future of AI — and that's perfectly fine. Maybe the real question isn't 'What will happen?' but 'So what?
My new post on substack goes into this more deeply as I personally struggle with how to make sense of all of this.

Cervical cancer mortality in US women younger than 25 years significantly declined between 2016 and 2021, likely due to the widespread adoption of HPV vaccination.
